When will my 16 month old son stay with me when we walk?

He almost always gets away from me if I let go of his hand or he refuses to walk. Usually carry him or put in stroller. Wonder if we will need double stroller when new baby arrives when he is 20 months old. Please help!

Buy the double stroller. :) My son and daughter are 15 months apart. My daughte is barely 2 and still doesn't stay with me very often in public. I would recommend a sit and stand. that way your son can sit or walk alongside and the new baby can sit in the front.
